New York! Head over to Last Rites Gallery for a pair of cool exhibitions. First up is “Taking Over” by Sarah Joncas. This is Sarah’s second exhibit at the gallery and it features 14 new paintings and one drawing. The figures she draws embrace the dark side of life and all appear to have an interesting back story that will leave you wondering where these people came from.

Also featured is Chris Haas’ “Waking the Dead” which are the coolest animal skulls you’ll ever see. It’s hard to see the details in these photos (read: go to Last Rites and see them in person!) but each one is so ornate, they look like the remains of a magical breed of animals.
